Several reports have shown candidemia and upper urinarytract involvement as the complications of candiduria. The aim of this study was to assessnosocomial candiduria; identify Candida isolates and determine their drug susceptibilitypattern. Materials and Methods: Urine sample...

Candiduria is a common finding in hospitalized patients, Non-albicans Candida species (NAC) have emerged as a pathogenic fungus group, where speciation is important, due to intrinsic resistance to commonly used azoles. In this study, 5180 urine samples were processed to determine prevalence of candiduria, to characterize and determine their antifungal susceptibility pattern by disk diffusion an...

Background and Purpose: The presence of Candida yeasts in urine, known as candiduria, is an indicator of infection or colonization of the urinary tract by Candida species. This condition in diabetic patients can be hazardous due to diminished immune system response. The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of candiduria in diabetic patients and to identify its causative agen...

The objective of this study was to identify possible predisposing factors for candiduria in intensive care unit (ICU) patients from Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, Brazil, during one year. Urine samples from 153 ICU patients were obtained by catheterization on admission day and every seven days. Data such as sex, age, antifungal therapy, and variables as antibioti...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infection among hospitalized patients and have been increased during the recent decades (1). Out of several microorganisms that are associated to UTIs including, yeasts are one of the most important organism that cause UTIs. The presence of Candida species in urine is considered as candiduria and it is varying from asymptomatic candiduria to c...

According to reports, Candida albicans is believed to be the leading cause of fungal urinary tract infections, otherwise known as Candiduria. Prevention of candiduria using natural products is desirable and should be investigated. The current study reports the antimicrobial effect of H. sabdariffa (Roselle) extract, a common herbal drink, in combination with voriconazole or fluconazole against ...
